[Weekly Downtime Thread][Summer III 1525 HC]

Please post any of your downtime activities below. You can find the full rules for downtime here . You can find last week's downtime thread here. Always remember to be specific about what downtime action you are taking! If you're leveling up type that in your post labeled as OOC! If you're looking into an item be specific about where that item is from, what mission, when you got it, who from, etc. If you write "I read that book I found" the DM is likely to have no clue what you are talking about. If you are learning a language, or tool make sure to write down how many weeks you have been practicing! This lowers the DC, and gives advantage depending on the number of weeks. Also a reminder that players only get one main downtime action per week.

Dragomir The Black Drago returns to Urkenhame with Nalu. He drops off the last 2000 gold required for the completion of his tower and asks if the top part can be adjusted so Nalu has a floor for herself. He spends his time bonding with Nalu the voiceless. Telling stories of his past, how much he loves Urkenham. Flying around the city together. He pledges never to steal from her and she will be treated as a true companion in all regards including gold earned. He goes collects his Sapphire gem he had saved from a mission past worth 150 in value. Its colour reminds him of his/her scales and offers it a symbol of trust. She can place it in any room she likes when the tower is finish and that room will be for her belongings. Drago shows his new scales to Larmedylth and can tell the boy is beyond proud. Drago is surprisingly serious about his responsibilities of being a champion. When he gets a quiet moment with Larmedylth and Nalu alone he explains all the new details from the Cohort concerning the void dragon, its aspects and temple in Drachenward. However an increasing fear hangs over Drago’s mind, he is extremely worried about his ability to protect Nalu where he is unable to access the Mebhaighl in leylines and what areas Nalu can even be able to travel safely. He has heard that human cities can make magical creatures ill or worse and some humans would stop at nothing. To make matters worse he has heard that some Cohort members are using collars to keep them as children. “Like, I know I’m not mature enough yet to learn leyline magic... I know that... I can imagine it will be many years before I am ready if ever. I just want to make sure I don’t let both of you down. It’s scary ya know… like there is going to be one day, when I’m needed the most... I won’t be able to help… Men can be evil, I seen some greedy for power, money and others are worse.... and I can’t fight like others...  But like I got to be able to do my duty! Maybe I don’t have enough faith...” He holds his silver dragon wing symbol in his hand and takes a deep breath and calms down. He goes back to practicing the Arcane, using magic that feels like your breath out all the time instead of breathing in is strange but this time working together with Nalu he gets surprising results. Extending his magic to empower her beyond just himself.  Major/Minon Action : Bonding with Nalu and updating/ speaking with Larmedylth about if she knows anyways he can still protect Nalu if he is in a situation and doesn't have access to Mebhaighl . Loaned 1600gold from Darvius Tower: 4/5 8000/8000gold Orithar Trisk After hearing about the indigo star being the heart of the void dragon, Orithar is obsessed, gaining increased motivation for vengeance against the Drachen. Tearing through the library for any information on how to Weaken the creature, How Moonstone can be used to fight it and even destroying/using the indigo heart to kill it? During the night he takes a moment to pick back up the book "Sacrificing Mortals and Summoning Creatures of The Shadow World". Looking to see if he can find the names of any creatures within. OOC: Major action - Researching way of fighting the void dragon. Minor: Looking for names of Shadow Creatures for use in spells, even ones he may not have access to yet. Fenris Preforms his bodyguard duty for Rhuobhe Manslayer giving his every respect the Sidhelien deserves. Every Sidhelien custom extended, Royalty given. Fenris would be the embodiment of respect and professionalism. After the event, he apologies that the Cohort believes one such as him required a bodyguard and hopes one day he could be of service once again. Fenris will pay his respects to all Sidhelien leaders if possible especially the Grand Mistress, Llaeddra Siannodenel. He has not been able to return home in so long and hopes she can give him news and he is always at her service. I think Fenris would likey try and name drop his involvement in the saving of Innishire hoping this might gain him some small merit/respect. OOC: Offering his services/networking to all Sidhelien leaders.

Tal Thrum (Learning Low Brecht Week 3 From Lady Mispera) He apologizes for the groups recent failure and asks to continue teaching him Low Brecht, though at this point its pretty obvious its not the language he wanting to spend the time with her for. Tal, for a lack of better word is head over heels. He spends any time he can chatting and taking care of Mispera and making sure she is comfortable until Kazimir and the others can procure a solution to her illness. Until then Tal provides whatever mundane aid he can with his honeyed tea and home remedies picked up at the orphanage.  (Minor Action: Helping hand) Einar will continue to help with the children around the fort like he has before and find some time to help cook and teach their chef recipes from his land that are hearty and tasteful while still being light on resources used.  Korak   (Hip Lantern Creation Week 3) Korak stays in Drachenward and tries the leathers from Mammoth and other winter resistant creatures for thicker and hardier material that might insulate better against heat transferred to the user. Finding glass blowers to do a strange blow where they let most of the glass sink to one side so that the heat dissipates toward the intended direction through the thinner glass. (Minor action: Kaevara Babysitting and Creepy Bird funeral) Korak will talk to Queen Freya and Silver about Kaevaras sword in Morrendeep and her possible ability to deal with the void dragon once she has this artifact. Korak will ask Darvius to take her back to the council and keep her away from any that might be a bad influence on her childlike demeanor, and also to provide all pertinent information of her to the council including the sword. He leaves a letter of the situation in Darvius' hands written about the possibility this woman has of helping to defeat the Void Dragon aspects but to also be weary as it seems a second personality lies beneath her ignorant state and should be explored. Korak would also last session have gathered the "bodies" of the poor bird people and bring them back to Drachenward also asking Silver/Queen before entering if these are OK to take in and have a proper burial for them. For the one still living Korak asks what the Queen and Silver wish to do with her. Cleanse with magical fire, put out of is misery, or have silver imbibe her. Its their citizen so Korak does not wish to do anything to her on his own. Hedrin (Minotaur People Recruiting?) Now finally able to speak Midguardian, Hedrin thanks  Zylara officially for teaching him the language treating her to a nice lunch one day. After the news of the Void dragon hits Zobek the boy worries for the relatives of his new "Mother" and asks if any were displaced or effected by this event and offers to take some back to the Cohort if they have been left homeless or are afraid to stay where they currently live. Aside from this he runs around Zobek making sure all the friends he has made are doing alright. (Recruiting them with downtime if possible and if not would like plot threads to recruit Minotaurs that are not Piney catchers if successful) (Minor-taur Action: Reading Weather Book) With all the events going on Hedrin decides to curl up and read the book on Weather and see if he can glean anything interesting about lighting and how it forms naturally or what gods cause it.

Zahirah Major Action:  Zahirah will be attempting to level up using the XP collected during session 120 Minor Action:  Zahirah will be spending as much time as possible with the Ki-Rin and establishing relations with Galena. Nardual Robalar Major Action:  Nardual will be attempting to level up using the XP collected during session 122. Minor Action:   Nardual has discovered that his inability to speak Anuirean has hampered his ability to act. With no leads on his family, he will attempt to find someone within the Cohort to learn Anuirean so that may continue to act behalf of the land in Anuire and to reclaim the missing fey crystal. Zoktqua Major Action:  Zoktqua will be attempting to level up using the XP collected during session 121. Minor Action:   Zoktqua has posted in the guild hall a request for aid in contacting Rhoube Manslayer and is attempting to gather others of Sidhe-related blood to escort her and potentially gain information for the Cohort on this person.

Medi Eirwen Medi, having actually found someone who gives her all of the love and confidence that she was desperate to get from her sister, gives in to selfishness and retires from adventuring life to stay at Bardenhold with Prudence, Agatha and Diesa, losing herself in her newfound happiness. She tells herself that it's just for a while, and that she'll definitely get back out there to help her sister.... soon... To offset the guilt over this for a while, she sends in a mission request to the Cohort Arcanum, just in case someone else can help before she can. "To my friends in the Cohort Arcanum; I am writing to you with a request to help one of your own. The esteemed hero, Teresa Eirwen, having been retrieved from Morrendeep, remains under the enthralment of The Beholder. I offer this mission, with suitable rewards, to any who see fit to aid her restoration before I am able to. The process requires a special potion crafted from Tears of the Tortured, An Eye of the Innocent, The Wings of a Pixie, and The Tongue of Traitor. Acquiring these will not be easy and, as you may gather from some of the ingredients, morally questionable to obtain. For rewards, I can offer two glainne arrows, and 800gp upon the successful restoration of my sister. Additionally, The Cohort will likely be greatly appreciative of the restoration of one of their own." (OOC: Retiring the character. Hopefully posting a mission, if not to the Board of Fate, then to whomever is interested.) Cordie Returning to the Cohort after a short time away from the Margreve, Cordie hears about what happened there and is deeply upset. And angry. She scours the logs for mentions of this "Void Dragon" to find out where it came from and what it's capable of. After learning that Orithar has something it needs, and probably wants revenge upon it, she seeks him out to co-ordinate a plan to make it pay. She would also check in with Drago of all people, under the guise of checking his research on Ixaranum was correct, but it's possible she was just making him aware that she intended to fight. (OOC - Major Action: Asking the Cohort about moonstone in relation to the Void Dragon) Saorise TBD

Diesa Gemfire She stays at Bardenhold to support Agatha, Prudence and Medi during the alseids recovery. Like them however she soon finds herself unable to contemplate returning to the dangerous and grueling life of a cohort adventurer and putting at risk the connections she has gained and come to treasure. Especially as her and Agatha's feelings towards each other begin to bloom. To Agatha Diesa vows but one last mission, should Overthane Grimm Graybeard call on her debt - she will answer so that no dishonour can be laid on her clan. Once that is resolved then she will officially retire so that they may spend as many years as they both have together. (Out of action until either Grimm Graybeard calls in his debt or the six months elapses, then retiring) Diesa spends 1,000 gp on getting a resurrection tattoo so that she is more likely to be able to come home to Agatha if that time comes. She donates the rest of her wealth, 996gp, to Korak as thanks for giving up his weapon to save her friends. Galena Abanâthu Location: Halls of the Cohort Arcanum, on the Isle of Fabrica Major: Training - Since Galena has taken on and been entrusted with the raising of ki-rin until the little golden hoofed and scaled bundle of joy is self sufficient again she mostly stays with Queen Habivi's clan of Lamia, whom she continues to subtly address as 'mum' whenever she can get away with. When she does leave the side of the snake-women and their Matriarch it is usually to learn the tongue of dragons, which she figures she should definitely try to learn as soon as possible given her new charge. (Learning the Draconic language, 1st downtime attempt (Jack of all Trades: +1 to ability checks) ) Minor: Minor Hazing - Galena is happy enough to have Zahriah following her around, so long as the cleric doesn't disturb or upset Ki-Rin or the Serpentine Lamias, and passes off any chores or undesirable jobs she can onto her. As 'tests of dedication' of course. Aubrae Trevelyan Location: The Free City of Illien - Modest Lifestyle Major: Starting an order of knights? - Aubrae expresses gratitude to Gadreel for joining her in the matter of the Axebeaks and presents her with the fine inlayed khinasi scimitar as gift.

Major action: Using thieves tools, his knowledge of locks, and his woodworking tools, Cedrych tries to reverse-engineer a wooden key that would fit the magic-suppression collar that he got off Taefenael. He's just trying to understand the mechanism and bitting of the lock so he can make a wooden template key that could later be reproduced in metal. Salazar TBD Kazimir After returning from his fruitless errand, Kazimir makes a brief stop at the Cohort to hand off his report and some correspondence before heading back to the Last Hope. He once again spends the month administering weekly treatments to Lady Mispera, trying to better understand the disease and what can be done to treat it. The following is a transcription of his letter to Overthane Grimm Graybeard, originally written in Karamhul: Hail, Overthane Graybeard. Several months ago, I answered your call for aid. With help from some other Cohort members, we slew beasts of flame and servants of the brass dragon that had taken up residence in one of your breweries. Now, I write to you with my own plea for assistance. A dear friend of mine is gravely ill, and although I have been treating her symptoms, it is beyond my power to cure her. I believe that restorative magic of the fifth circle may be able to subdue the disease that wracks her body. If you would be willing to send one of your senior Clerics to aid, or perhaps have the ritual transcribed to parchment such that I may attempt it myself, we may yet save her. I know times are hard for Baruk-Azhik, and that you face enemies without and within. That is why I do not come empty handed in this request. I can offer payment of one-thousand gold pieces for a scroll of Greater Restoration, or a willing Cleric capable of casting it. On top of that, I am willing to personally absolve Baruk-Azhik of its promise to deliver plate at a discount of five-hundred gold pieces. I await your reply. Kazimir Volkov OOC: Continuing to treat Lady Mispera to better understand her and her disease. Writing a letter to the Overthane.

Hes happy to continue helping the local peasants. 

Jannis the Red Major Action:  Jannis will spend his time researching in the library for rumors and stories regarding lost magical weapons.  His interest isn't in highly powerful and legendary items, but more minor magical weapons that rose to fame enough to gain a name.  He primarily focuses on one handed martial weapons that have definitive or rumored locations of where they might be.  He primarily focuses on the history section of the library along with any documented ballads or stories from various bards.

Ant Ant had been in 13 shipwrecks before coming to the Cohort. Each time, he had been the only survivor. Or so he thought... When Ant first came to the Cohort, he would ask around every now and again if anyone had heard of surviving crew members of the Sea Song, the last ship Ant had been a crewmember on. No one ever had any information for him, just like every ship before. After a while, Ant stopped asking around, figuring no one had survived. Ever since Portia and Ant revealed their feelings for one another in Rzhlevskyy, Ant hadn't been to thin of anything other than her, not even his old crew. After returning from the Vespidian hive and while planning the mead recipe with Portia using some Vespidian honey, Ant receives a letter. A letter from the Sea Song's First mate; Benjamin Perkins, asking Ant to meet up with him, who was at one of the many docks of Fabrica. Ant apologises to Portia for needing to run and meet Benjamin, but she is understanding. Ant meets up with Ben, and they get to chinwaggin' like they would have done only a year previously. Benjamin tells Ant about how more of the crew has also survived, and that they have a new ship; 'The Atonement.' Ant can't believe it. 'The curse is broken!' he thinks. Benjamin invites Ant to come join them again. At first he says no, saying he has a reason to stay on land now; his love. Benjamin suggests he bring her with. Ant thinks about Portia's burgeoning interest in the sea, wondering if she would want to. Ant says he'll think about it, with Benjamin saying they'll be in port for two more days. Ant goes off for a walk and thinks about whether he wants to go or not. The curse is broken, now. For the first time in a century, he wasn't the only survivor. He really had made his own luck. But did he really want to leave the Cohort behind? He tries to think of all he'd leave behind, but all he can think of is Portia, and how he'd be leaving nothing so long as she's with him. Ant meets up with Portia at their place they only just moved together into. After trying to think of what to say to her, he says, "Portia, would you like to come with me, and for us to sail the seas together. U-uh- if you don't, I'll stay here with you. I go where you go. But the sea, it still calls to me. But I want you there, or I'll gladly ignore the call the rest of my life." "Oh Ant..." Portia lets out a deep breath. "Of course I would go with you to sail the seas." She smiles. "Ever since I met you, I've...I've started to feel its call too..." She blushes. "I couldn't ask you to stay on land, that's not who you are." "Oh, you've made me the happiest man in the world!" and he hugs her tightly. But, as they hold each other close, he remembers something. Something in his backpack. Something he planned to give her next time they ventured out for the Cohort. But, if they're leaving, that won't happen. 'Happiest man in the world' he thought. 'Not quite yet.' He reached over to his backpack. "Portia. I have one more question." "Oh really, what is it?" "Portia, would you like to come with me..." "Yes..." "and for us to sail the seas together..." "Yes..." "As husband and wife." Ant holds up a ring, a tear welling in his eye... Portia is ecstatic, she wraps her arms around Ant and kisses him deeply, nearly forgetting to say yes, until their kiss is over. "Yes." Ant's cries tears of joy, as he puts the ring onto Portia's hand. Ant and Portia hold each other for a long while after. After an hour of silence, Ant tells her his family name, and his clan name. Something he'd never told anyone since leaving Baruk-Azhik. A big deal for any Dwerren for to reveal their family name, but for Ant, it was like reopening a century old wound. But he wanted her to know, and to know that he gave up that name a long time ago, and wishes to have hers instead... Ant and Portia go to the docks the following day, meeting up with Benjamin. They are both welcomed onto the ship, Ant asks the others to start showing Portia the ropes, while he sees the captain, asking his to marry them when out at sea. The next day they set off, on their first proper voyage together. A few days out at sea, the captain officiated the ceremony. Portia wore purple crocus flowers, placing a couple in Ant's suit. Ant straightened his hair, and tidied his beard for the occasion. For that day, he looked quite a handsome man. She was, of course, an angel. The captain of The Atonement pronounced them Mr. and Mrs. Folkor. They kissed as the crew cheered their old and new crewmates.  Over the following years, they both save up their moneys, and together, buy themselves their own ship. Ant asks Portia what she'd call it. She calls their ship "The Fearless Flower." Ant manages to convince Portia to be his captain, and he'll be her quartermaster. They gather a crew, saving themselves a reasonable amount for a rainy day. They sailed together until their last days. In love. Oh, and that mead they made, was absolutely delicious. That is how Nyllyr Ant Kingbrewer, became Ant Folkor, and that is how Portia Folkor, became Captain Folkor. "We talked about how you wished you could be in a battle like the one of Traitor's demise. You listened to me talk about my love for the sea. I almost told you the tragedy of why I stopped sailing right there and then, so comfortable I was with you. We were close immediately, weren't we. Inseparable for the most part, even before you told me. Remember? When you told me you 'liked' me. Heh. Even now, thinking of back then, I blush. They were in there torturing that poor lad, and you came out. We were awkward cause Nim was teasing us, asking if we kissed each other. Gods, you remember her? Heh. She clearly knew something, didn't she? You know, when you told me you liked me, that really was it, wasn't it. We were never going to be anything other than by each others side. I couldn't be anything else. I just couldn't. You remember when we each got each other the gift of learning each other's language? Heh, and I was worried cause you were upset cause you were struggling to learn, but I didn't know, so I made you 'My Strength.' Do you remember? I remember it as clearly as if it happened yesterday my love. I always will. I always will. That was our first kiss, when we first spoke each others tongue. My heart swells just thinking about it. To think, I've spent the past years kissing you every morning, every night. I really didn't need that necklace for a lucky charm. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. You remember that spring, where we just spent it all with each other. I swear, we accidentally stepped into a heaven. Oh Gods! Do you remember that bloody monkey?! Hahahaha! Gods, whatever possessed you to take that? Hahaha!..." "Gods I love you Portia. I always will, my love." (OOC: Retiring the character.) Mamm Bealdaartsdotter Before leaving the Cohort for Roesone, for what may be the final time, Mamm bakes a basket of blueberry muffins for little Dragomir. She writes a number of letters to Cohort members, as well as a general farewell statement to the entirety of the Cohort (Written in Mamm's Session 118 log). Mamm Bealdaartsdotter and Nimogene Mammsdotter travel to Bardenhold, where Mamm serves as a knight to provide for herself and Nim. Mamm would occasionally secretly wish she could return to the rush of adventure, though she'd only have to look at her daughter, to know she made the right choice.  (OOC: Retiring the character for now. Minor action: Make Drago Blueberry muffins with Cook's Utensils) Skag Polavich Skag steels himself after a long time of hiding to say goodbye to the people leaving. He has a look at the board of fate to see if there's anything he feels up to...  (OOC: No action) Yaara Mielahoney Bzzzt...

Dragomir Unfortunately the top of the tower will need a sharp roof in order to prevent a collapsing from the buildup of snow. A more ordinary floor can still be designed as 'her room,' but won't be able to house her as she grows. Not in her true form at least. She gladly takes the gem, but still hasn't really said much of anything. She follows Drago around, always nervously looking towards the sky. She pees herself whenever Larmedylth makes an entrance. Larmedylth tells Drago that it will be his job to convince Nalu if he wants to learn leyline magic. In the meantime he'll still need to adjust to his new abilities. His tower is coming along nicely. Orithar Orithar tries to find ways to fight The Void Dragon, but finds no hints in any books other than that such knowledge is more likely to be written in stone than in paper. OOC: You're trying to take two major actions. Took the first one. Fenris Without proper paperwork from The Cohort, or otherwise a good reason Fenris has trouble making his way into the court of any high sidhelien noble. He's able to find a few lower level nobles who are willing to take him on as a mercenary. Rather that makes its way up the food chain as promised is uncertain. Tal Thrum Tal Thrum finally learns Brecht from Lady Mispera, and helps out around the fort. The Lady mostly attends to the minor needs of those around her, but also has to rest often with her condition. Between her and the children it's quite a handful. Korak Korak finally makes a working 'prototype' of his lantern. Unfortunately it breaks as the glass gets too hot, and shatters. It's getting closer though. Kaevara is quite the strange case. Sometimes she seems like a genius, and other times she cannot even feed herself. It's almost like she lost her mind. No one in Urkenhame is able to 'cure' her. It seems this madness is something unique. If it could be focused though Kaevara might be a powerful ally. Hedrin Hedrin tries to recruit some of the Minotaur people, but it proves difficult. They don't seem interested in going off to faraway lands. They especially seem wary of Hedrin. Zahirah Zahirah levels up. She spends some time with both Galena, and the Ki-Rin. The Ki-Rin usually hides behind Galena. Nardual Levels up, and searches for someone to teach him. He find a few teachers who would charge for such things, but there might be someone out there willing to do it for free (talk to other players). Zoktqua Levels up, and gathers other sidhe for this mission. Medi (Mission posted, character retired). Cordie (handled in session if you need anymore DM me). Saorise N/A Dyer Levels up. Zook Zook levels up, and spends time with Valeiros. Zeek Levels up. Other than that he spends some time reading. Veilitos N/A Zero Levels up. Urg Levels up. Diesa Diesa takes a step back from adventuring, but keeps the door open to returning if her debt is called. Other than that she returns to Bardenhold with Agatha, Pruidence, and Medi. Galena Galena will need more time to learn draconic (rolled in session). Galena's new 'squire' gets the worst of it. Aubrae Gadreel tells Aubrae that she doesn't currently have any interests in any of the gods. She says her place is on her own, and that she doesn't want to see any of her companions die again. Indeed by the time Aubrae arrives they are already gone, and the temple reluctantly healed the girl. Elusive Levels up. Elusive learns Draconic assuming he pays the fee, or has another PC teach him. Eirena Eirena finally learns how to smith, but Nasaadi doesn't like the smell. She is however getting used to both Eirena, and Savas. Eirena could swear she heard the girl mutter 'papa' under her breath once in the man's direction. Sithric The sidhe don't see the difference between hanner sidhe and sidhe generally. Of course as hanner sidhe live with their sidhe kin they do transform more dramatically. It's certainly not unheard of. Robert Robert levels up to level 6. Those that he saved have already left, The Church reluctantly decided to help them on his recommendation. Their trip wasn't for nothing. Valeiros Valeiros levels up. Other than that he teaches Zook. Shango Shango levels up. Shango sits around and listens to local wives' tales. Nothing particularly interesting other than that Yela is cheating on her husband. Thorkell Levels up. The Cohort has no clue what dental insurance is. Nasir Levels up (your name is spelled different on the logs, and on your sheet). Cedrych Presphine does her best, but making a magic potion out of something that stops magic isn't very easy. She does think it might be possible though. The key he is trying to replicate is extremely complex, and difficult. There was a reason he had trouble unlocking it before. Salazar N/A Kazimir Volkov Kazimir continues to look after Lady Mispera, and makes arrangements with Overthane Grimm Graybeard (handled in session 129). Raven Levels up. Finds an owl. It's an albino with gray spots. Hen Levels up. Theo Joins The Cohort. Hadrian Joins The Cohort. Glenn Glenn successfully learns Sylvan, and bakes cookies. Jannis Jannis looks around, but all of the stories seem to be of powerful, ancient, and/or legendary weapons. Most of which are currently claimed, or have been long lost. He does discover a rumor that The Sword of Roele is currently located in Adlersburg. Savas Savas trains with Sithric hard, and spends the rest of his time being a parent. His 'daughter' is slowly starting to grow on him. At one point he could have sworn she whispered 'papa.' Kazimir Zima Levels up. Darvius Darvius and Korak do their best to help[ Kaevara, but it's clear that much of her mind is gone. It's odd because she shows glimmers of brilliance, and knowledge that is far beyond any mortals. She can manipulate and wrestle leylines even away from The Kallanon purely by accident. Then the next moment she won't understand how to feed herself. It's unclear if the damage to her mind could be healed, or not. Vincent Vincent makes religious tokens for Phage, but isn't able to find anyone selling bee venom. Brognir Brognir teaches Eirena smithing, and does some research with the rest of his time. Brognir discovers that there is a river in which all souls float down. Supposedly there is more than one entrance to this place, and the primordials have found some way to manipulate the entrance in Cerilia. Supposedly other gods from other far off realms have ways to manipulate this realm as well. He also discovers that The Green Eyed Monster whilst dangerous is bound to her bridge, and could be distracted. How isn't clear. Phage Phage finishes learning about the powers of the arcane from Presphine. Aloysius Aloysius joins the The Cohort Arcanum, and begins looking for jobs (XP noted). Ant Ant retires with Portia (feel free to transfer XP from Ant, or Mamm, but not both). Mamm Mamm makes her farewells, gifts Drago some muffins, and retires from The Cohort. Skag Skag takes some time to himself. Yaara Bzzzt..
